I found the information about commenting on blogs very interesting. I seems like all my classmates so far have been very courteous about their comments. After reading the selections my concern focused on the huge commitment that blogging involves. A personal blog would be much harder for me to maintain than a blog for my class. I completely agree with all the articles that mention the importance of making relevant comments. If you don't agree with the blogger than state your opinion and state your case with proper decorum and be prepared to receive comments about your comment.
So far, I have commented on 3 students blogs: Alex Daniels, Kate Green, and Tamika Jones. I agreed with Alex's ideas for blogging and suggested one more. Kate made some good points about proper etiquette and I expressed my concern about commitment. Tamika wrote about the rude one-word comments made on a blog and I agreed with her and expressed my feelings about such comments.
I shared with a classmate, Brown Squirrel, a podcast I also found during thing #22 that I thought he would enjoy. Even if students only recorded their storytelling (not necessarily publish a podcast) would help with their fluency.
I commented on Molly Wilson's post and sympathized with her about Zoho. We both had difficulty loading our Zoho document. It always reassuring to know that when technology doesn't work it's not always you (sometimes it is :)). That's the beauty of blogging, you get to interact more than you do with a website.
